I have a book in my Kobo library that I want to put in Calibre. When I try to download it on my computer or phone, all that downloads is a URLLink.acsm file. Anyone know what's going on?

That’s the Adobe Digital Editions resource file. Put that link into the ADE application and it’ll download the ebook.

There is also a Calibre plugin that's supposed to deal with .ascm files. I've never managed to get it to work personally but maybe someone else will have more luck.

Is there a straightforward way to do this on Linux?

This tool is easy to use and works well, and then just use something like calibre to strip the DRM.

Thanks, I'll give this a try!
